With only a small army at her command Hal\u00edka Dacom\u00e9, a skilled warrior and daughter of the Elemental King, is ready to lead one final battle to save her people and her planet. A battle against the savage, bloodthirsty Primords who want to extinguish the diminished race of Elementals once and for all.<\/p>\n

But before battle commences her father is given an ultimatum from the enemy leader, Arfron Uhnok. If the king agrees, Hal\u00edka Dacom\u00e9 must marry Arfron Uhnok to prevent further bloodshed. If the king disagrees they, as a race, will all perish.<\/p>\n

Horrified by her fathers decision Hal\u00edka Dacom\u00e9 leads her army onward regardless of the consequences. Because her heart belongs to another. A love that blossomed many years ago. A love that her father has forbidden.<\/p>\n

Hal\u00edka faces her toughest battle yet and learns that not all battles are those fought with a sword…<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re out there on the battlefield with your captains and your soldiers, when you fight, you are the strongest, toughest, fiercest woman I know. Sometimes you scare me at how hardened you are.\u201d<\/em>
\n \u201cBut that\u2019s just\u2014\u201d<\/em>
\n \u201cNo, I know what you\u2019re going to say. I know it\u2019s who you really are and I love that person. She\u2019s someone I admire so much.\u201d<\/em>
\n \u201cWhat are you trying to say?\u201d<\/em>
\n \u201cI\u2019m saying that I feel honoured that I get to see the real you. When you\u2019re with me, you turn into this soft, beautiful, lighthearted woman whom I adore. That woman who stirs something inside me to a point that I can\u2019t bear to be without her. I never see that woman with anyone else. Not Cary, not her brother, no one. Hal\u00edka, I think I know how you feel about me but\u2014\u201d<\/em>
\n He looked down at our hands, somewhat crestfallen.<\/em>
\n \u201cBut what?\u201d<\/em>
\n \u201cYou never say it, Hal. I\u2019ve never, ever heard you say the word. Not even with those closest to you.\u201d<\/em>
\n \u201cWhat word?\u201d<\/em>
\n \u201cLove,\u201d he sighed and rested his hand on my cheek, cupping my face. \u201cThe word is love. Is Hal\u00edka Dacom\u00e9 capable of such a thing?\u201d<\/em>
\n– Ner\u00eddo Xip\u00edle to Hal\u00edka Dacom\u00e9<\/em><\/p>\n

Reviews for The Battle for Arcanon Major<\/h2>\n

Well, if I had to sum up this book in only one word it would be MINDBLOWING!
\nI think this book sheds some light on the mystery that entrances you in the first. I actually think I’m going to re-read “Elemental: The First” with this new found understanding of Hal\u00edka Dacom\u00e9 and the three other elementals.
\nIn the start of the book we find Hal\u00edka Dacom\u00e9 on the brink of a battle against the Primords. We follow her from there through ups and through downs while she’s trying to save herself, her family, her friends, and most importantly, her people. In the end (trying not to give away too much here) the whole story of how the Elementals made it to earth made so much more sense.
\nI think this book was AMAZING and I can’t wait for more!

Well, this was amazing \ud83d\ude42 I loved the characters and loved knowing the stuff what you briefly got told about in the first book of the elemental series \ud83d\ude42
\nFighting, Love and other stuff happen in this book and I LOVED IT!!
\nI would so recommend everyone to read this when it is released \ud83d\ude42

WOW!! I am amazed! First, I\u2019m normally not really a sci-fi fan but it\u2019s such a great book and has so many fantasy elements that I LOVED it! It\u2019s just surprising that such a dark story can have so much brightness.
\nSo, Halika, Hally to her brother and friends, is a warrior princess. Her father is a LOSER king. I\u2019m sorry but I have a lot of hate towards the king. I have nothing but LOVE for Hal! She is strong, brave, fierce and wants to do what\u2019s right to help the people of the kingdom. She\u2019s in charge of the army, and she\u2019s earned the right. She just impresses me continuously!
\nYou know I love side characters. There\u2019s not too many supporting characters, but the few they have are awesome! They were written in a way that you feel like they\u2019re your friends too. And Neri- he\u2019s HAWT!! As the boyfriend should be though boyfriend may not be the right word. I\u2019m so enthused about how these kids, yeah kids, save a planet!
\nThe writing is EXCELLENT!! I started reading and didn\u2019t stop! I just devoured it! After reading, I really can\u2019t wait for book two in the elemental series to come out! And it also gives you so much background and understanding! I\u2019m fully invested in this whole series! GIMME GIMME GIMME MORE!! 5 FIERCELY THRILLING PAWS!!

Hal\u00edka Dacom\u00e9 is a strong character, who thinks with both her head and her heart-probably her biggest downfall! Alexandra May has developed her characters so well that you feel all of the emotions, see the scenes, feel the power of the moment! This is a MUST read for anyone who has already or will be reading ELEMENTAL: THE FIRST! Well done! I was glued to the pages, white-knuckling it all the way!
